Mistral AI allegedly found an employee leaking model data to China — but French labor law ties its hands

Per a viral post, Mistral AI security discovered a female employee sending internal model data to China; the CEO wanted her out immediately, but French labor law requires a formal disciplinary process. She is now on a 6-week performance improvement plan while retaining office, Slack and most system access, leaving founders furious. The poster argues national security can't justify abandoning labor rights. Unconfirmed by Mistral.
